California Court of Appeal

In an action alleging disability discrimination in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and arising from defendant's dismissal of plaintiff, judgment of the trial court granting summary judgment on the basis of preemption is affirmed in part and reversed in part where 12 U.S.C. 24 was impliedly amended by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), 42, U.S.C. sections 12101-12213, and as amended, preempts the FEHA only to the extent that FEHA's disability provisions exceed the requirements of the ADA.
